UB40 - Matter of Time lyrics

Just a matter of time
Till you run out of breath
Money mountains you climb
Never hedging your bets
But your luck can run out
You'd better watch your step
Just a matter of time

Just a matter of days
Till the factory's done
When they shut down the lathes 'cause
The work has all gone
And nobody cares 'cause there's no-one
It's just a matter of days

I know what you mean and I suppose I agree
I'm a bit pushed for time
Please don't bother me
Take you guidance elsewhere
'cause I've heard it before

In case is not very clear
I don't care anymore

Just a matter of hours until you're forgotten
Your pushing up flowers
And you're used to the rot
So that was your life, didn't manage a lot
Just a matter of hours

I know what you mean and I suppose I agree
I'm a bit pushed for time
Please don't bother me
Take you guidance elsewhere
'cause I've heard it before
In case is not very clear
I don't care anymore

I know what you mean and I suppose I agree
I'm a bit pushed for time
Please don't bother me
Take you guidance elsewhere
'cause I've heard it before
In case is not very clear
I don't care anymore
